The restaurant has a beautiful setting and is very convenient for a pre-show meal, but the prices seem to be based more on the location rather than the quality of the food. Some dishes were standout, such as the fresh ricotta and tasty truffle fries, while others like the prawns and carpaccio were good but lacked complexity. On the other hand, some dishes fell short, such as the poorly executed grilled peaches that were hard, unripe, and barely grilled. The lobster mac and cheese was also somewhat disappointing.
RTR is a pretty good place for dinner before a show at the Kennedy Center. The restaurant has the classic aesthetic of the Kennedy Center with beautiful views from the terrace outside the restaurant. The staff were friendly enough though our waiter didn't talk with us too much. Food service was quick which is to be expected for those going to performances. The quality of the food is okay. All of our entrees were hot but just okay taste wise. Pretty good selection for
This was our first time dinning at the Roof Terrace before attending a show downstairs and I would have to say we really enjoyed our visit. This is the perfect place for a nice romantic dinner date the ambiance and views are absolutely amazing and the foods not bad either???????????? Although it was a little pricey it was still worth the price of admission. I was told that their Sunday brunch is amazing and I can?t wait to experience that next. So once again if your
I went to the restaurant prior to watching a show at Kennedy Center. ???? The hostesses were chatting around when I get there around 5:15PM. ?????????? After being seated, the waiter who served us was wonderful. ???????? He is very thoughtful and solicitous. ???????? The setting of the restaurant was graceful. However, I could not see Potomac River through the floor-to-ceiling windows because of the wide patio outside which blocked my vision. The view was still

We have visited this restaurant several times in the past, but this was our first time in two years. The Terrace has definitely improved. Both my lamb chops and my wife's fillet steak would be excellent choices at any upscale restaurant. The service was efficient and courteous, accommodating our show schedule. The Terrace has retained its vintage 1960s atmosphere, which adds to its charm.
We wanted to sit near a window, but were informed that this was not an option, though there was no mention of it in the reservation process. The service was good until the end of our meal, when the restaurant got busy, and our waiter disappeared. It took twenty minutes for him to process our payment, inexplicably. The food was good, though expensive; nothing special, I would say.
I have never been to the Kennedy Center and had no idea that there even was a restaurant. What a very nice dining experience. Santo our waiter was very knowledgeable with the food and drinks. It is a bit pricey but worth it. Even if you are not going to an event I highly recommend checking it out.
Wonderful bar service! The food was so good. Had the tuna carpaccio and the salmon. Both were absolutely perfect! Lovely seasonal Cocktails. Perfect stop before or after the show. The bar has the full menu, so no reservations were needed. Lovely intimate vibe.

We were very disappointed when we arrived as they said we did not have a reservation. We got a table anyway, but this should not happen.
A fine evening of dinning. Wonderful setting and good service.
